For the fair Credit Card bill you’re sponsoring, please be serious about pushing for adoption of a national usury law and an interest ceiling on all credit card balances for all types of credit cards. The banks that have received bailouts are the mos egregious offenders and have simply been allowed to gouge the U.S. taxpayers and credit card holders. While the Fed Cahir may be right that the banks will immediately raise rates if a law is passed soon, the law should prohibit such raising of rates. That’s easy to resolve. Seems to me that if banks like BofA and Citigroup need more capital, they should trade off with lower interest rates on cards and a national usury law—say no more than 15%.

This guy is a total jerkoff for pulling parliamentary tricks to block Sen. DeMint amendment to audit the Federal Reserve, but yet the Dems. had earmarks and other legislation in violation in the bill. If he votes no on S.604, then his representatives need to make sure he does not get re-elected.

Senator Nelson, despite you saying that the Public Option vote has been shelved due to not having the votes! Sir, millions of Americans want Health Care Reform with a Public Option. You need to get the bill for Public Option on the floor for a vote. You were elected to represent the People of the United States, not Corporate America.

Looks like Sen. Ben Nelson has cut a backroom deal, (special favors) to put America’s economy in the garbage. Nelson has sold his soul to the devil and we all are going to pay for it. Now America gets to pay the medical expenses for the guy down the street who smokes three packs a day and receives a welfare check. When will America wake up? This administration and the Democrats are destroying the system that has kept America economically stable for 250+ years. Next thing you know, if you don’t vote Democrat you will be denied medical attention. Welcome to obama’s America! You should be ashamed of yourself, “Senator” Nelson.

Senator Ben Nelson = Male Whore. Dingy Harry Reid bought him off. Now the rest of us taxpayers get to may Nebraska’s medicare bills forever………how nice. How much longer are we going to let these jokes that are in Washington run this country into the ground?

Senator Ben Nelson, You my sir is one of the top names with health care “reform”. I hope the smart Nebraska’s citizens do everything they can to show how you take a blatant disregard for what America really wants . You will be one of the top Senators that will be known for destroying America. Hard working Americans want reform, but nothing rushed to meet Obama’s arbitrarily deadlines. I vote for reducing the time senators are allowed to be office. Remember you are elected and should be working for the people, not your political career or whats left of it.

Senator Nelson, I have a question for you. How much did you sell your soul for? How can you say the majority of Americans want this, when it is very evident that they do NOT want the government to have any say in their health care? You sir I believe just signed your own pink slip. Shame on you for turning you back on Americans.

Well it looks like Ben got bought off, just like JUDAS. i hope this guy has seen his last term as a senator, but he will kiss some butt and stay in office by using our money to buy votes. all i can say is get the rope and lets go to D.C. it’s way past time to clean out our buildings of crooks like this guy!

I just wanted to send you a note to let you know that I hold YOU personally responsible for Obamacare being signed into law. If you had respected the wishes of your Constituents (67% DIDN’T WANT O-CARE!!!) then the entire country’s health care wouldn’t be at risk now. You sold yourself out for, well, as it turns out, NOTHING! How does that make ANY sense to you? It CAN’T.

I can tell you that every single health care conversation I’ve heard on TV in past several months have ALL included the words “Cornhusker Kickback”. YOU sir, have embarrassed and ticked-off this entire state (except for the 23% of do-nothing, give-me-a-free-handout, losers who still support you.) No vote u make in the remainder of your career will ever make me forget the backroom bribe u took that set up this entire bill for passage. If u hadn’t voted 4 it, the ENTIRE country wouldn’t b subjected 2 this disastrous bill now. This is on YOU! YOU are the ONE that made this happen. (continued)

I have a very, very long memory when it comes to those who attempt to mess with my personal life, not to mention those that steal liberty from me. And I’m not the only one. I won’t LET anyone I know FORGET the role YOU played in getting Obamacare passed. I’d love it if you would just RESIGN NOW and, we the people of Nebraska, could stand a chance by electing someone who may actually represent US in the Senate! Your time is over. Now we just have to suffer through the remainder of your worthless term in office. You AND Obama will be leaving office the same day. Sound good to you? Sure does to me.

You are one callous SOB and hope you will someday end up unemployed and experience the same current situation where people’s lives are hanging by a thread and you think of nothing but political brinksmanship. Better still, I hope you just plain rot period.

Senator,
I feel betrayed. I worked hard all these years and have been a good citizen and paid my taxes. My employer paid unemployment insurance in case I was laid off. I have not collected benifits for years. When the automotive business was bailed out I was put on part-time and then in December I was laid off even though I had more seniority than most of my office workers. This was not my fault! I am not looking for a hand out like my neighbors on welfare. I am looking for help until this world turns itself around. Please support us so we can get on our feet and once again start contributing back to the good ole USA.

You are a terrible representative for your state. Voting against the American Workers (UI Extension) was terrible. You do realize these people are putting money BACK into the system. So now you’ve hurt the small Mom and Pop, Bus drivers, job seekers to get to and from these painful interviews.

WHAT IS YOUR PLAN TO HELP THESE PEOPLE NOW!!!! I’ve been looking for over 8 months now I have two weeks left. I have no idea what I’m going to do. WHAT IS YOUR PLAN FOR US NOW… I’m very eager to know. You’re going to cause more disruption and instability. Can I come and live with you until this job “thing” is taken care of?

WHAT IS YOUR PLAN? I really want to see it, cause it needs to take place very quickly (in days, not weeks). email me sedgeneric@yahoo.com

S.3520 needs to be passed immediately. There are 15 million Americans who are “unemployed through no fault of their own,” and who are also frantically attempting to find new jobs that do not exist. The majority of these 15 million have a family dependent upon their income, so that increases the number to possibly 30 or even 45 million Americans who are in imminent danger of losing everything. When this happens, the financial and moral ramifications for this country will be dire indeed. I’ll say it again— S.3520 needs to be passed immediately! Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter.

purplelilac3085: What is this? You are using my text that I’m sending to every senator, and claiming it as your own. Maybe you wish you wrote it, but you didn’t. This is the second time I’ve found you doing this. It’s wrong. please cease and desist.

Mr. Nelson,please show some mercy to your fellow Americans and DO NOT LEAVE for a holiday without giving hope to the millions of unemployed and their families who have no hope today. I fear that if the benefits extension does not pass, the news over this 4th of July holiday will be the increase in suicides of people who were betrayed by their country for the sake of politics. People care more about feeding their children today than the debt. How can you betray your party and constituents who voted for you? More than that, how can you sleep at night knowing that children are going hungry because you are more concerned about the next election than their welfare? God help you, Mr. Nelson.
